File Inventory Script/Utilities

    Hey there,

    I'm trying to get myself organised at last and want to compile all my information in one location, but rather than copying everything over from my current PC's, laptop, backup media, DVDs etc and then sorting it, I'd prefer to sort first and then copy the stuff I want to keep over..

    Does anyone out there have a script or can recommend a utility that I can run to do a complete inventory of all files I have in a particular directory or bunch of directories on a PC. Its all running through Windows by the way..

    If I could run a script or utility on each in particular directories and it outputs the results to a text file I could start cleaning it up deleting directories etc..

    I know its very lazy of me, but I'm kinda swamped at the moment in work, so the last thing I want to do when I get home is trawl through GB's of data and try and sort it.. so any help would be appreciated.. :)
